Plumeria's Raid

“A mission made by the Plumeria's crew,” she nodded toward Sora and Ichi, “resulted in the elimination of much of the upper echelon leadership of the SMX. This stalled them for a time, requiring for them to reorganise and promoted some infighting for determining whom would remain dominant and command the Mishhuvurthyar battle fleets. This distraction served us well, until a large part of the SMX commanders decided to send an entire flagship-supported fleet to attack Tatiana and Nataria. The Star Army of Yamatai barely fended off their assault and while we did destroy the Shlarvasseroth-class flagship the mishhu had commited to this battle, in exchange we lost most of the Zero Fleet Depot.”

“The only Mishhuvurthyar fleet commander whom did not participate was one named Melisson, whom is sitting tight in the Bard star cluster, entrenching her assets there, fortifying her position and such. Plumeria's raid on Hukka has apparently done Melisson a good turn, as Black Spiral reported that with her superior dead, she gained control of all the 1100 SMX warships assigned to the south-east sector instead of the former 200 or so she had left after her conquest of Taiie and Ushobrakflug.” Kotori shook her head, “Melisson has grown even more dangerous and has sadly not spent her time being idle. The time the other Mishhuvurthyar fleets spent rushing our core defense network, she spent building shipyards and harvesting resources from her new holdings as well as sending a token force the way of the Yugumo cluster to dispel any notion Motoyoshi-taisho might have of regaining her former holdings. The SMX battlefleet in the Bard star cluster also shows signs of now including a new warship-type whom we currently have classified as a torpedo ship.”
